"I don't understand why a show that I happen to love, like Law & Order: SVU... is acceptable, but a show about a very loving, committed same-sex couple wanting to raise a child... is explicit and offensive," the actress argued.

"I hope everyone starts maybe opening up a tiny bit and are able to redefine what normal is."
